Now this is a wrap dress! It's got asymmetry. It's got scallops. It's got buttons! In one word: Fabuloso! (Maybe I should add another exclamation mark? This graph doesn't seem to have enough. There!)

So. Shop until you drop. That's an order! Do not delay. Not one minute. Not one second. Let those well-manicured hands click to The Blue Gardenia, where the patterns are counted, the jewelry is sparkling, and domestic shipping is free. (We happily ship abroad, of course, although there is a fee, less than the postal service charges us. You may choose Global Priority or Global Express. We love them both. We do.) And we take American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Paypal and Visa. Isn't that grand? I think so. I do.
